Stampin’ Up! More Colorful Seasons for the August Stamp Camp!

Posted on August 16, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! My Colorful Seasons stamp camp is fast approaching, and with everything going on this week (revival and I discovered an forgotten appointment on my calendar yesterday) I'm not as ready as I usually am by this day of the class week. I also start babysitting for Liam & Darcy tomorrow, so I have to get as much done today as I possibly can!

Swaps are coming to the rescue! I am finishing the insides of these two cards to add to the two I have created. (you haven't seen the 2nd one because it's been raining or dark when I had time to photograph it, but I will be taking pictures of a pile of fun creations soon!)

I received these two cards in swaps a couple of months ago. They have been in my display at events and I have lost the creators names, but they are beautiful cards that I would be proud to call mine!

This one could be considered more Daisy Delight than Colorful Seasons, but I love the combo of the Delightful Daisy Designer Paper, Daisy Delight and Colorful Season images, and Stitched Shapes and Layering Squares Framelits. The inside will be coordinated with the outside with a birthday sentiment.

This card combines the Adirondack chair cut with a Seasonal Layers Thinlet with the stamped beach chair from the Colorful Seasons stamp set. You can't tell in the picture, but we will be stamping on Shimmery White!

I don't usually use swaps for my class cards, as I like to use my original creations, but this week has been unusually hectic and crammed with other important non-stampy things, so I'm thankful I have swaps to turn to in a pinch!

I have one completed card and one as-yet-to-be-created card t0 show you. I hope to be able to share one of them with you tomorrow and the final one on Friday!

Stampin’ Up! Stamper’s Dozen Blog Hop, August Edition, Holiday Catalog Sneak Peeks!

Posted on August 14, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there and welcome to the August edition of the Stamper's Dozen Blog Hop! We have been a fewer than a dozen for a few months as some of our members have made changes to their business model and excused themselves from the hop, but this month we are welcoming TWO new members, bringing our number of hoppers back up to the full dozen! yay!

Our theme this month is "Holiday Catalog Sneak Peeks", so sit back, relax, and get ready to be "WOW'd"!

If you have placed an order with me in the past year, the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog should be arriving in your mailbox very soon! If you don't receive a copy from me and would like to receive one so you can get started making your Wish List, then leave me a comment or message me and I'll get one in the mail to you in a jiffy!

For my project I chose to use a Holiday Catalog set that does not come bundled with framelits or a punch (I know, gasp!) There are plenty of great sets you can choose from that don't require an extra apparatus to make beautiful cards. I chose Season Like Christmas and paired it with a new embossing folder, the Winter Wonder Textured Impressions folder. Although I love this card with the embossed snowflake, it would be a gorgeous card without it!

I created two versions, first a very simple one with just stamping twice with Old Olive ink without re-inking in between stamping and then embossing with the Winter Wonder Folder. This one allows the embossed snowflake to shine!

I also created a slightly stepped-up version with three stamped trees (stamped all three time with only inking the stamp with Old Olive once) and the addition of a Hearts & Stars Element:

Both have the same inside, stamped with Season Like Christmas images and Old Olive and Basic Black ink.

Season Like Christmas and the Winter Wonder folder will be available to order on September 1st when the Holiday Catalog goes live.

Which version of this card do you like best?

Now it's time to move along to the next hopper to see what Judy Garza has created!

Or hop back to Laura Milligan's blog to see her lovely creation!

If you don't have your own Stampin Up! demonstrator, you can go to my online store to order: http://bit.ly/shopwithCarolPayneStamps

That's all for now, until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Merry Little Labels For the Mam’s!

Posted on August 14, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Anyy event I attend with my team, the Yes Mam! Stampers, I try to give them a gift. Three of my Mam's went to Vacation Stamping School with me on Saturday, so when I found these cute spiral-bound notebooks at Hobby Lobby a few weeks ago, I knew I had to make tags to mach each one!

The cover of this one reminded me of our Wood Words stamp set and the coordinating Wood Textures Designer Series Paper. I heat embossed "just FOR YOU" from the Holiday Catalog Merry Little Labels with white powder on Chocolate Chip card stock, then punched with the Holiday Catalog Every Label Punch. I punched two Whisper White Everyday Labels to adhere behind, then looped a piece of 5/8" Burlap Ribbon, securing with liquid glue. I adhered all to a Chocolate Chip base cut with a Lots of Labels Framelit. I attached the tag to the spiral with new Jute Twine from the Holiday Catalog.

For the "Creativity Takes Courage" notebook I heat embossed the sentiment with gold powder on Whisper White before punching with the Everyday Label Punch. I matted it with a couple of Basic Black Everyday Labels, then mounted it on a Gold Foil Snowflake, also from the Holiday Catalog. I used a Basic Black tag base cut with a Lots of Labels framelit and attached it to the notebook with Gold 1/8" Metallic Ribbon.

I LOVE these snowflakes! There are 12 silver and 12 gold in the package. You will see me using these A LOT this fall!

The Tag I created for the "make today Amazing" notebook uses many of the same supplies as before, but I flipped a gold snowflake over and used the WHITE SIDE. This gives you THREE color options!

I embossed the sentiment with Gold on Crumb Cake, and cut the tag base from Gold Foil. I tied this one on the spine with Gold 3/8" Metallic-edged ribbon.

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day August 13!

Posted on August 13, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm going to quickly post the swap cards for today. We've been gone on our trip for the past week, returned home Friday afternoon and yesterday morning I left at 5:20 a.m. to attend a stamping training meeting with my team, the Yes Mam! Stampers. My head hit the pillow pretty early last night, and I have some serious catch-up to do from being gone! I'm in the nursery at church this morning too! My life is hectic, but I wouldn't have it any other way!

To start off our swap day, Audra Moncur created her lovely card with the Grown with Love bundle and Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper:

Next, Sharon Tong-Robinson used the Orange Blossom set:

Cynthia McQueen used Fresh Florals Designer Paper with Happy Birthday Gorgeous and Ribbon of Courage to create a Shutter Card:

Remove the belly band and open the card to see the shutter open!

Rhonda Bassler created a Gatefold card with the Orange Blossom set and Whole Lot of Lovely Designer Paper:

Jan Rodrain used Crafting Forever, the Marbled background stamp, and Touches of Texture to create her swap:

Finally, , Natalie Woll used Embossing Paste with the Pattern Party Decorative Masks and Palette Knives to create the background fr her Watts of Occasions birthday card:

I am so glad I swap with these girls every month! I get so much inspiration and have all of these fun ideas to share!

Stampin’ Up! Sheet Music Sheltering Tree!

Posted on August 11, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I used the masking technique with Sheet Music and Sheltering Tree to create this pair of sympathy cards:

I tore a piece of paper and then adhered it over the Whisper White layer with washi tape. I inked the Sheet Music stamp with Basic Gray ink, stamped it off on scrap paper before stamping over the masked white layer. Leaving the torn-paper mask on the layer, I used a Sponge Brayer to roll first Soft Sky and then Pear Pizzazz over the Sheet Music image. The Sponge Brayers contain two handles and four sponge rollers, allowing you to sponge with 4 different colors before rinsing any of them out with water. I keep my sponges stored in labeled baggies with the color they have been rolled in. At only $8 for four sponges and two handles, I can afford to dedicate the sponges!

After stamping and brayering, I removed the paper mask and then stamped the tree with Basic Black ink.

Inside I stamped a Thoughts & Prayers sentiment with Marina Mist ink and sponged the edges with Pear Pizzazz.

My second creation was constructed in the same manner.

I love the look of Soft Sky and Pear Pizzazz brayered side by side!

I stamped the Sheltering Tree greeting stamped on a 3/4" wide banner strip.

I used more Thoughts and Prayers sentiments on the inside:

Stampin’ Up! Flower Shop Sympathy

Posted on August 10, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! We made today's card last month at the Cozy Table class with the Flower Shop set:

We embossed the Pool Party layer with the Layered Leaves Dynamic Textured Impressions folder, added a strip of Whole Lot of Lovely Designer Paper and a piece of Tranquil Tide 1/2" Finely Woven Ribbon to coordinate with the Tranquil Tide card base and the ink used to stamp the two Flower Shop blooms. We did lots of sponging on the edges of the card layers, and blooms before adhering the blooms together and to the card with a dimensional. We added a Clear Faceted Gem to the center. We had this sympathy sentiment and a happy birthday one from Rose Garden to choose from, punched with the Pretty Label Punch.

Inside we used another sentiment from Rose Wonder and lots of sponging.
